Actor-producer Aamir Khan feels the Hindi film industry needs to pay more to writers, who are a fundamental part of the moviemaking process. Aamir attended the grand finale of Cinestaan India's Storyteller Script Contest 2018, and said such competitions could bring out more talent. He was joined by writers Juhi Chaturvedi and Anjum Rajabali on Monday.

Whether Yash Raj Films hits the bull's eye with its Diwali offering Thugs of Hindostan will be known once the film is released on 8 November, but the action adventure, touted to be the studio's most expensive project ever with a budget of close to Rs 200 crore, is already on its way to recovering costs.

Yash Raj Films' Thugs of Hindostan is one of the biggest Bollywood-films of the year. For one, Aamir and Big B are going to share screen space for the first-time. Thugs is also an epic adventure backed by a production house with the requisite budget for it. Not only the movie itself, but the shooting was also a sort of adventure.
